Many locations upstream of Greenwich, and a few town centers downstream!

Downstream means a lengthy passage around the peninsula and through the
Thames Barrier, just to reach Woolwich,

You mean around Docklands? As in, the land where the docks are? The docks
which connect to the river at both ends? There's a reason it's called the
Isle of Dogs, you know - the waterway cutting from the Limehouse to the
Blackwall reaches, which has been there in some form for centuries -
literally makes it an island!

Aidan said downstream from Greenwich, so that's what I was referring to
- the downstream route around the North Greenwich peninsula.
